tattoo roses doodling

I had some tattoo books out from the library ( I do like the library) because I love tattoos, I have two really crumby ones I had done in my youth and need covering so I am on the long term pondering about what to have over the top.  Having spent twenty-four years with one bad one I am not keen to spend the rest of my life with another one I do not like.  It seems to be quite hard to find designs that I do, so I am trying to design one myself.  I have a fancy for a really big one, I get all over-excitable when I see some those lovely sleeves on people, well some of them.  Adding to my procrastination and confusion is the fact there are so many different styles that I like, could end up like a dogs dinner.  The traditional, hearts, anchors, ships.  The new skull style.  I quite fancy something girly like a piece of old granny china.  Japanese designs, waves, blossom.  The beautiful Pacific big blooms.  Oh My!

Three rose designs I like at free fashion updates.  I like the traditional rose look.

Nice Japanese cherry blossom and waves at J Spooner

 Also love these Traditional  American style and the old Sailor style tattoo.

these three from nordic-tattooists-a-their-drawings.  The heart is so cool.

Roses. butterflies, blossom, Japanese clouds.  Am I allowed to mix it up?  All ideas that I have consistently loved for a long time.  Important I think.

nice tattoos

 I know it's wallpaper but I think it would make a pretty tattoo.

cute

Most of these were found on finger tattoo, which has some nice simple designs, and seems to have stopped blogging.  worth a look though if you like tattoos of the simple variety.

new dolly. birthday present

I made a dolly for my daughters friend cheska who writes new school shoes blog, very funny.  

 My daughter decided that she should have a little school uniform, which I thought would be a bit dull, but now I have made it I do think it is v v cute and I am pleased.  We had to cut the hem off my daughters school skirt for material to make this.  She has a little school bag with a little felt blossom to put her clothes in.

 and a felted wool flower in her hair

 she has a heart on the seat of her knickers, and pretty feet.

 and I designed and free-hand machined a tatto on her back.( based on some henna hand tattoo designs)

this dress was "Annie"  inspired. Me and the girls watched the film recently and I loved the dresses that the little orphan girls were wearing.  I can't find any photos of them , they are all dusty faded colours and sweet loose styles.
